The northeastern foothills of Yunmeng Mountain were filled with perilous peaks and dense forests. Opposite them were the two perilous peaks of Longyun Mountain.
These seven or eight peaks formed a circle, forming a huge basin in the middle.
Although it was called a basin, it was only relative to the peak. Compared to sea level, this basin was more than seven hundred meters above sea level.
This kind of place was what people often referred to as the true deep mountains and old forests. Throughout the year, it was uninhabited.
However, there was a huge courtyard here. This courtyard faced the south and was built along the mountain. It had distinct levels and was very picturesque. It wasn't much smaller than the Ling Family's ancestral home.
To build such a courtyard in such a place, it was obviously impossible to import construction materials from the outside. Instead, they had to use local materials, mainly mountain rocks and wood.
Even so, to be able to build such a courtyard here required a lot of manpower and resources. This showed how powerful the owner was.
This was the headquarters of the Heavenly Kills Organization, the Devil's Doctrine.
In this huge mansion, over a hundred Heavenly King Stage assassins from the Assassins Organisation resided, as well as eight King of Assassins.
In the Assassins Organization, those at Xiantian Realm Level One to Six were collectively known as the Heavenly Kings. These people were used to assassinate the ancient sects and hidden families in Huaxia.
Once the Heavenly Kings broke through to Xiantian Realm Level Seven, they would automatically become the Kings of Assassins. These people wouldn't be mobilized unless something big happened or they wanted to assassinate some guardians, elders, or sect leaders.
Otherwise, they would stay here all year round to manage and train the Heavenly Kings.
Other than these hundred Heavenly Kings and eight Kings of Assassins, there were also two commanders of the Assassins Organization's Beijing branch.
These two commanders were called Sikong Wuqing and Sikong Wuhen. They were the other two sons of Sikong Tu.
Right now, Sikong Wuqing and Sikong Wuhen were sitting outside the secret chamber where Ling Xiao was imprisoned. They were leisurely sipping tea while waiting for their father to come out.
"Big Brother, it's been more than a month since Sikong Wuji went to Qingshui City to deal with Ling Yun. There's still no news of him. Do you think he's dead?"
Sikong Wuhen had a majestic figure, like a bear. He wore black clothes, and the muscles on his body bulged like dragons. His gaze was calm as he sipped on his tea.
Of course, he used the Secret Voice-sending Technique.
Although Sikong Wuqing, Sikong Wuji, and Sikong Wuhen were all Sikong Tu's sons, they were not born from the same mother. Therefore, there was almost no affection between them. When they talked about each other's life and death, it was as if they were talking about strangers.
"Hehe, how would I know? Anyway, I've arranged for people to investigate for more than a month, but the result is like a rock in the sea. There's no news from the Hudong branch at all. "
Sikong Wuqing was also dressed in black. He was tall and skinny, his hair was disheveled, and his face was expressionless. His eyes were sharp as he spoke.
After saying that, Sikong Wuqing snorted coldly, "Hmph! He coveted the Devil's Blade? We have so many Heavenly Saints, yet he wants to stand out and become the Demon Lord and be our boss. Even if he really dies, he will only be courting death! "
"I don't know if he's dead or not, but …"
As Sikong Wuqing spoke, he raised his chin slightly and pointed in the direction of the door of the secret chamber. He sneered and said, "The one inside has already gone mad."
Sikong Wuqing's name was not just for show. Even Sikong Tu, who was in the secret chamber, was too lazy to even call him father.
Sikong Wuhen's expression was a little gloating as he said in a strange tone, "Hehe, he captured his love rival to get rid of that huge knot in his heart back then. Now that his son is missing, it would be strange if he doesn't go mad."
Sikong Wuhen teased their father and changed the topic. He asked, "Big Brother, why do you think the Old Master suddenly called us here today?"
Sikong Wuqing frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "I heard that there are many things. You should know that his old rival, who has been fighting with him for eighteen years, has been looking for him again these few days. She has killed many of our Heavenly King assassins in this half a month."
Sikong Wuhen chuckled and said, "Hehe, the Life and Death Gu. This woman has really risked her life for Yin Qingxuan's son."
Speaking of this, Sikong Wuqing was also very moved. He shook his head and said, "That's right. Among the servants that Yin Qingxuan brought out, this Qing Niao is naturally the strongest. Back then, in order to protect that bastard Yin Qingxuan, she did not hesitate to use the Heavenly Demon Explosion Technique and carried the Old Master down the cliff to perish together with him. She even planted the Life and Death Gu on the Old Master. Even we can't compare to this kind of ruthlessness."
"Women from Miaojiang are indeed ruthless."
Sikong Wuqing emphasized again. Then, he smiled and said, "However, although the Old Master has been tormented by her for so many years, she is not much better. Not only are all the meridians in her body reversed, her face is completely disfigured, and even she has become crazy. In her heart, there is only the obsession of killing the Old Master. I guess she doesn't even know who she is now."
"This Qing Niao can't defeat the Old Master, but she has inherited Yin Qingxuan's Qinggong. It is really too good. Her movement is better than ghosts. Once she escapes, the Old Master can't catch up with her, so he called us over."
"If she dares to come again, the Old Master wants the two of us to help. The three of us will work together to kill her!"
Hearing this, Sikong Wuhen chuckled and nodded. "Yes, it's good to kill her. It's clean and neat! Otherwise, the Old Master will probably be completely tormented by her. "
"Then, what about the other things?"
Obviously, Sikong Wuhen had absolute confidence in the three of them working together to kill Qing Niao. Therefore, he casually said this and asked about other things.
Sikong Wuqing said faintly, "The other two things are more important. They are for two people. One is that vile spawn, Ling Yun, and the other is naturally that slut, Ye Xingchen. "
"Ling Yun has risen to power in Qingshui City, but his identity is unknown. However, according to my estimation, there is a ninety-nine percent chance that he is the vile spawn of Ling Xiao and Yin Qingxuan!"
"In recent months, Ling Yun has suddenly risen to power like a comet and defeated the eight big sects of Huaxia. On the other hand, Ye Xingchen has put aside his official business and frequently appears in Qingshui City. What does this mean?"
Sikong Wuhen let out a cruel, wolf-like sneer. "In other words, if Ling Yun is really Ling Xiao's son, then he will definitely come to the capital to acknowledge his ancestors. Once he does so, Ye Xingchen will naturally stand on his side. Then …"
Sikong Wuqing continued, "Then, it will be the time when the Ling Family is truly annihilated!"
A cruel sneer flashed across Sikong Wuhen's face. "Hehe, no wonder the Old Master asked us to come back at this time. Big Brother, let's make this clear first. After we annihilate the Ling Family, that slut, Ye Xingchen, will be mine. You're not allowed to snatch him from me! "
Sikong Wuqing tilted his ears and listened to the muffled groans coming from the secret chamber. The corner of his mouth curled into a happy smile. "Not interested."
…
At this moment, in the secret chamber next to the two of them …
Ling Xiao was naked and nailed to a wooden cross. His hair was disheveled, and he had long been tortured to the point where he no longer looked human!
That's right, his whole body was nailed to the wooden cross. He was nailed to the wooden cross with a 20-centimeter-long steel nail.
Ling Xiao's palms, arms, legs, and feet were all nailed. The large steel nails pierced through his skin, bones, and flesh, and were firmly nailed into the wood behind him. Ling Xiao was unable to move.
For more than a month, he had been eating, drinking, and defecating in this state. The entire secret chamber was filled with an overwhelming stench.
Ling Xiao's lower jaw had already been plucked off by Sikong Tu. At the same time, his Dantian had been sealed. It was impossible for him to commit suicide by biting his tongue or sever his meridians.
At this moment, there was not a single part of Ling Xiao's body that was left unscathed. Even his originally handsome face had been sliced open by the knife. As he trembled in pain, the rotten flesh that was dripping with blood actually hung there, swaying non-stop.
If even his face was like this, one could imagine the state of Ling Xiao's body. There were knife wounds everywhere. Most of them were old wounds that had yet to heal, and the skin was instantly cut open again. As long as it wasn't a vital part of his body, it would be the same.
Pain was only one of the reasons.
One had to know that in the past month, it had been summer, and this residence was located in the forest. Naturally, there would be many mosquitoes. Especially at night, Ling Xiao's entire body would have to endure the bites of the mosquitoes. The itch and pain of tens of thousands of insects gnawing on his flesh would be endless torture.
If an ordinary person were to come in now and see Ling Xiao's appearance, the timid one would definitely be scared to death!
This secret chamber wasn't human at all. It was simply hell!
Even so, Ling Xiao couldn't die because the person torturing him was Sikong Tu, who was at Xiantian Realm Level Nine!
"Rip!"
Sikong Tu stretched out his hand and tore off another piece of flesh from Ling Xiao's shoulder. He laughed sinisterly. "Hehehehe, Ling Xiao, how does it feel to be cut into pieces by me?"
"Every night, you take my medicine. You're bathed in flames, but you can't move. You have to endure the pain of countless mosquitoes and ants all over your body. Does it feel good?"
Yes, there was still one part of Ling Xiao's body that was fine — his lower body. In order to torture him, Sikong Tu arranged for someone to give him the medicine every night and the antidote in the morning. Once a day.
"Tsk tsk!"
Sikong Tu laughed sinisterly and pulled out the two steel nails from Ling Xiao's elbows. With two "pu pu" sounds, he moved them an inch and stabbed them in again!
"Ugh …"
Ling Xiao finally let out a groan. He shook his hair with difficulty and stared at Sikong Tu with bloodshot eyes.
"Stare at me, stare at me! Hmph hmph! "
Sikong Tu laughed sinisterly and said cruelly, "How dare you snatch my woman. This is your fate!"
As he spoke, he lowered his head and stared at Ling Xiao's lower body. He laughed mischievously. "Only here doesn't hurt, right? It's hard to hold it in, right? Hehe, don't worry, I'll let you enjoy it for a few more days. After that, I'll cut it off and feed it to the wolves! "
"Si … Sikong Tu … Y-you'll definitely die a horrible death!"
Ling Xiao's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. He used all the strength in his body and cursed word by word.
Sikong Tu laughed maniacally. "Hehe, I don't know how I'll die, but your Ling Family will be exterminated soon! Let me tell you … "
At this moment, Sikong Tu, who was shrouded in black mist, suddenly stopped talking and turned his head to look outside the house.
At this moment, in a dense forest outside the house, a black, skinny figure with a black veil over his face appeared like a ghost.
"Hmph! You're still haunting me. Green Bird, I, Sikong Tu, will make sure you don't return today! "
Sikong Tu snorted coldly and left Ling Xiao behind. He flashed to the door of the secret room, opened it, and walked out.
"Wuqing, Wuhen, come with me!" (To be continued.)
